4:02 pm
washington. thank you very much for joining us. we begin with a pivotal vote on capitol hill after months of delays and political wrangling& rare saturday session today, house lawmakers passed a $95 billion foreign aid package for israel, ukraine, and taiwan. republican speaker mike johnson was finally able to advance the bills through congress with the help and must be noted of democrats. it's a move that could cost him his job as some hardliners& his party of threatened to introduce a measure to remove him from his speakership the senate is now set to take up that aid package on tuesday, president biden now urging senators to send the legislation to his desk quickly so that he can sayyed them into law, quote right away. let's get straight to our correspondence in both jerusalem and kyiv two countries set to benefit directly from this major bill. cnn, senior international correspondent fred pleitgen is in the ukrainian capital and our senior diplomatic editor international diplomatic enter, nic robertson joins us from
4:03 pm
jerusalem fred, i want to start with you. we are talking about more than 60 billion for the ukrainians. they have said time and time again that this is so desperately needed. you've spent a lot of time on the front lines. how is this going to impact the ukrainian soldiers? >> well, i think in so many ways, i mean, one of the things that we have to keep in mind, alex, is that over the past couple of months, the ukrainians have been suffering from a severe lack of ammunition on the front lines. in fact, one place that i went to about two months ago near the front lines in the east of the country, near bakhmut. the soldiers there were having to fire smoke shells out of artillery, launching systems. so ones that don't even really explode when they hit targets near, near where the russians are. these weapons had absolutely no effect because the ukrainian simply didn't have enough regular shells to fire at the russians. it's a problem that's been going on for months as this aid has been delayed by the united states. so the are hoping that they can get some fast relief from that
4:04 pm
very quickly. the other thing that they said, they need immediately is air defense missiles. they do have some air defense systems that have been helping them. however, they said that they simply at this point in time don't have enough missiles. of course, one of the things alex, that we've been reporting about over the past couple of weeks, the past couple of months once is that the russians have launched this massive aerial campaign, especially against energy infrastructure in this country, destroying or badly damaging a lot of energy plants here in this country. and the ukrainians are saying they simply don't have enough ammo for their air defense system to shoot those russian missiles down. so they're hoping that there's going to get faster leaf for that well, we also spoke to some soldiers on the front line who said that this aid build going through the house of representatives and being okay by the house of representatives does so much for morale for the ukrainians on the battlefield knowing that new ammo is coming, the president of this country volodymyr zelenskyy. he also came out and thank the united states. here's what he had to say we appreciate every
4:05 pm
manifestation of support for our state and independents are people in our lives, which russia wants to bury in ruins america has shown its leadership from the first days of this war of course one of the things that we have been seeing, alex recently is that the russians do have a bit of momentum going for them on the battlefield right now, it's no strategic gains. yet, as far as the russians are concerned, however, they are more effective at using their air force now, they've made some advances on the ground as well. the ukrainians are saying they understand at this aid package is not going to completely reverse that, but they do hope that it is going to help them, uh, hold the russians up and possibly even start some sort of planning for what could be as the summer progresses progresses a counter offensive by the ukrainians. but of course right now, immediately they say the main thing is trying to hold the russians up. alex yeah that most recent counteroffensive didn't go terribly well for them. fred pleitgen, great to have you back in kyiv. thank you so much nick, to you now, we have 26
4:06 pm
billion that are going to israel and gaza, 9 billion of it is going to be for humanitarian aid, 17 billion going to the israeli military. we've seen israel go through a lot of those intercepted rockets in the past few days as they were fending off that attack from the iranians. of course, the israelis using a lot of tank shells for example in gaza, what is the reaction in israel to these billions that are coming their way? >> very happy from the top of the political leadership, from the president of the country, isaac herzog, saying that israel has no better ally than the united states. and same the united states has no better ally than israel as well. the prime minister like other political leaders here post he's very grateful for the bipartisan support. he says, this bipartisan support shows support for israel, and i think that's significant coming from the prime minister because there's a sense among many people in the country here, particularly those that are
4:07 pm
critical of him, that he has really grown tensions with the white house between himself flynn president biden, i'm particularly over the way his fight in the war in gaza more than 34,000 palestinians dead there. now the war is not over more, more military operations to come. that's what's expected. so the prime minister domestically, making it clear that this is bipartisan support we haven't damaged that relationship that minister talking about the seven different enemies that israel is fighting at the moment. this, it says shows strong support from the united states. a foreign minister talks about strong ties, talks about strategic partnership all of these words, welcoming that money that military support for the ability to be able to hold off the enemies of israel. and that's what the speaker in the knesset said. it's an important message for the enemies of israel and that i think has particular resonance
4:08 pm
here as well, because there's been an assessment here that the reason iran, just last weekend, we were standing on the roof here watching some of those 350 iranian drones and missiles coming into israeli airspace, getting shot down. and the sense was that iran believed that there was a weakness in that relationship between israel and the united states because of the strains between prime minister netanyahu and president biden. and this is what is under so that encouraged them to strike. so when the speaker of the knesset, it says, are random is understand that bond with the united states is strong. that sending that message, so it isn't just the military aid it is that perception for the enemies of israel and for the aid money that goes for gaza. and potent sort of point on that was that none of the money that's being given for aid for gaza is going to go to the un body, unrwa, which oversees the age distribution in gaza, which israel has been incredibly
4:09 pm
critical of as having members of hamas with within numbers. and there's the big tension obviously between unrwa and israel at the moment some nations not funding unrwa and to the detriment of the people of gaza, they say, yeah, so many see them as the most effective network at getting aid to where it needs to be inside the gaza strip. nic robertson, jerusalem. thanks very much. i want to bring in retired trailing army major general mc ryan mick, a great to have you back with us. i'm going to start with ukraine first, $60 heading to ukraine. certainly very welcome. we've been hearing ukrainian officials from president linsky on down, sounding the warning about what it would mean if they didn't get this aid. so what is it going to mean for ukraine's troops and concrete? terms oh good. >> i alex a major shot in the arm for ukraine in the warfighting realm, they should see very quick infusions about hillary in air defense munitions. these are the two big priorities and the pentagon
4:10 pm
european commanding places throughout your little being planing on a very quick injection and once this bill was play. so we should see that moving quickly. >> but more importantly, it provides a beat morale boost for ukrainian citizens and for their soldiers on the front line they know that aid is on the way and that will help where we saw the russians take the town of avdiivka, an eastern ukraine and that's just one example of where russia has been able to progress in the past few months how do you think ukraine has been directly impacted as us lawmakers were going back and forth about what to do well, it certainly had a significant impact on frontline soldiers. >> great shortfalls of artillery munitions is one of your previous speakers, noted general cobolli and europe recently stated that the russians will probably double their overmatched will be attend to one without significant help. but also it's resulted in a shortfall in a defense missiles over cities, but also over the front line. and therefore, we've seen these glide bomb attacks which
4:11 pm
have been so devastating against the ukrainians anybody. who is interested in this conflict should be following your analysis. you're following this so carefully and offer such terrific perspective we did hear from cia director bill burns on thursday, and he sounded this warning that essentially that if there was not more us support for ukraine, that they could essentially lose the wore out to russia by the end of the year, or at least allow president putin to set the terms for some kind of diplomatic solution. do you agree with that analysis absolutely. >> in these comments by the director, we're also made by the ukrainian president last couple of weeks without additional assistance to ukraine would lose this is for modern malls or a bad alliances. no country can go it alone, not even the us ukraine, like many other nations, need support to help it defeat russia if i could ask you about israel now they obviously have a much more formidable military
4:12 pm
industry than ukraine does at the same time, they've been at war now for six months, not just in gaza, but they've been also battling on a lower level with hezbollah in the north. they're getting about $17 billion. director military aid. how needed is that in israel it's very important for israel when you got to israel, i talk about things surrounded by a ring of fire fighting in gaza. >> they his bullet to the north, i have a friend from the west and also in the houthis to the south. so israel is facing threats in older age actions and it will go through a defense missiles in particular very quickly. but there's a range of other military material they need for. they did things. >> and of course, the us wants to replenish those stockpiles, not just so they can use them in those conflicts, but to establish deterrence for, for future conflicts, what message do you think that this sends to us adversaries around the world? we haven't been talking as much about taiwan, but there's $8 billion going to
4:13 pm
taiwan. so what is that message that russia, china, and iran are receiving right now? >> well, i think it's important to remember that there were four bills. it was a ukraine bill and israel bill, and indo-pacific bill, as well as the bill on tiktok and freezing russia acids. what this is saying to what i would call the authoritarian quarter of a rain russia, north korea, and china. is that the states in italian looking at all of them as one large threat. it's an entity that the democracies of the world are going to push back on.& the us funding in these bills will be a critical part of that all right, retired major general mc ryan joining us from brisbane in australia. thank you very much for your thoughts on all these subjects today. really appreciate it thank you. secretary of state antony blinken and his state department are not losing sight of keeping relations with china's secure. they have been battered in recent years, but both sides trying to make them better and smooth out tensions.

4:20 pm
jurors were seated just this week in new york & a fairly quick process, but it wasn't without its hiccups and six alternates were also sworn in alongside those 12 jurors. cnn's brian todd now explains why their role could prove crucial already, two empaneled jurors have been excused from former president trump's hush money trial underscoring just how crucial the six alternate jurors are, who've just been seated in a case of this length and in a high case, the alternates are as significant as the regular jury panel because there's a very high likelihood and probability in this case that one or more of those alternates are going to end up on the journey. the alternate juror is there to take over a spot on the 12 member regular jury if one of the regulars has to drop out of the trial one of the reasons could be illness they could have a family emergency or something else could happen like they can't follow the court's instruction not to
4:21 pm
post things on social media. >> court veterans say the life in limbo of an alternate juror can be strange, unsatisfying, and tougher than it may see. >> it's difficult to be very present and to really focus as much as jurors might need to with the idea in the back of their mind that they might not really need to deliberate at the end of it. all but as one alternate juror in police officer derek chauvin, murder trial said being an alternate doesn't mean the case weighs on you any less heavily every night when i would come home, i felt exhausted. >> it was pretty draining, pretty emotional, and that juror didn't even know she was an alternate until the end of the trial. in some cases, the judges purposely don't inform the jury which of them are alternate and which are regulars until they start deliberating. >> so they don't have that issue of knowing. i might not have to deliberate. do i really know? hey, listen to this. >> there are six alternate jurors for trump's trial, while that may seem like a lot for a complex and highly charged case, it may not be enough. >> he appears to have pulled
4:22 pm
the gloves on council during oj simpson's lengthy murder trial, ten regular jurors were dismissed for failing to disclose something allegedly passing a note or considering a book deal or simply telling the judge i can't take it anymore. >> ten alternate took their place. what happens if the trump trial runs out of alternates would be up to the defendant whether or not he would want to consent to a verdict with 11 jurors, but i don't believe that he would do that in this case. and you would have a mistrial. >> the alternate are always in court during the actual trial, but don't join the final deliberations unless they're needed. what happens if a regular juror has to leave the case during deliberations what happens then is the real jury has to basically start over there deliberations. >> they have to deliberate as though they hadn't done the deliberations they'd done with the first with the original juror and start part over with the alternate juror. >> what's the best advice for an alternate juror? trial consultant? lesly ellis says, tried to forget you're an alternate participate in everything you can with the

4:29 pm
included border security measures which did not get voted through today. so to what extent is this a win for democrats politically well, i think that's a win for democrats because they've been pushing for this for so many months biden has been pushing it. >> schumer has been pushing at jefferies, have been pushing it you know, they are three liters. >> and they see this as a direct threat not only to ukraine but to the national security interests of the united states. and putin's, they want to stop putin where he is and not allow him to to move further into europe. it is a it's an argument that resonates not only with democratic voters, but with a lot of conservatives. so they see it as i as a bipartisan victory. it put john mike johnson in a tough spot when he said no, i'm not going to do it johnson has shifted. he has reversed. he had voted against every ukraine bill until he took until he took the speaker's gavel. and then when you started seeing some of the intel behind closed doors, he said, listen, this is a real threat i am no longer just
4:30 pm
backbencher representing 700,000 people on the wheezy anna, now i am representing the house of representatives, 435 people the country and i have to look at this through a different lens. and he's also you all know a man of faith and by all accounts, he, he, he, part of this process was he sat down any prayed and he said & the decision came after after that that process. and he really went out on a limb here because there's a lot of angry conservatives including the previous mentioned two who want to boot him from office, right? >> ron, how damaging do you think it was? two johnson that now this ukraine aid has gone through, but there's nothing on the border yeah, i've looked that was their choice. right. i mean, you know the senate bill that included the border provisions was simply enforcement. i mean, i've been covering immigration debate since the 1990s and every time
4:31 pm
there has been a big package on immigration. oh, six, in the senate, 2013 in the senate, tougher border security was paired with some pathway to legalization for undocumented people here, none of that was there in this bill. i mean, eight basically only went in the direction republicans wanted, but not as far as they want it. and ultimately they decided they didn't want to do that i mean, i would say what was interesting about this vote is it? it reflected, but didn't fully express how divided each party is over these issues. i mean, the fact that a majority of house republicans, again, as they did last fall as a majority of senate republicans did in february voted against the ukraine aid really isn't historic kind of inflection point that says the international is weighing of the republican party now the subordinate minority in this kind of trump coalition and their influences likely, more likely to diminish than to increase. i mean, one of the senate republicans noted that virtually everyone voted elected since 2018 on the gop side, voted against this. and then on the democratic side,
4:32 pm
this is really just puts off the reckoning that is coming about aid to israel. they were not that many democrats god's willing to vote against the israeli aid package. but on may 8, when even distraction is required to report to congress whether israel is using the arms in accordance with international law and allowing international aid in. i think you're going to see a lot of pushback from democrats about continuing to do transfer offensive weapons as opposed to defense weapons to israel mike, in terms of mike johnson's fate, what did you make of congresswoman marjorie taylor greene? >> not pushing the motion to vacate today instead, saying, i'm going to let constituents speak to their representatives. i'm going to let these representatives go home and here from their voters, were you surprised by that, right? >> it was fascinating because you know, for for weeks, she said she introduced this motion to vacate it happened right after the last government spending bill and she said at the time, i'm not going to put it on the floor. this is a warning to speaker johnson on the upcoming ukraine debate. so when johnson pushed ahead with
4:33 pm
ukraine, everybody's saying, okay, marjorie taylor greene, what are you wait on, you know, put it on the floor, put her on the floor as she has as a single law maker has the power to put it on the floor. she has not done that and that has been very, very telling today she left again, left the capital, said i'm not going to put it on the floor and so from where we're sitting right now, it seems that speaker mike johnson has weathered this storm, which is a fascinating development because he has done everything that his predecessor did. he has cut all these deals with president biden on government spending just last week, he kind of a big deal and the government surveillance today cuts a big deal on ukraine. all of these things really accord by his by the conservatives, the same people who had booted kevin mccarthy from office. and yet mike johnson still survives. marjorie taylor greene will not bring it to the floor and we mentioned that the three conservatives who are the two others who have endorsed her resolution but that's not a huge number. it is enough in the tiny majority to topple her. but if democrats come and
4:34 pm
save him, which they said they will, then he remains so for a whole host of reasons she's very reluctant to bring this resolution one of them has to do with timing. we're now closer to the elections. they don't want to cause the same chaos that they did last october 3 weeks without a speaker, you can't bring anything to the floor, just makes the party look bad. and the other thing worth mentioning is donald trump called mike johnson down to mar-a-lago last week, and said, you're doing a very great, very good job, right donald jump trump gives us glowing review. it really makes it tough for marjorie taylor greene, right? who sees herself as very closely allied with the former president to suddenly say, oh, he's doing a great job in trump's eyes. but i think he's doing it terrible job. let's kick them out. now there's daylight between trump and greene, right? that's not what she wants. right? so she's really in a pickle. she's in a tough spot and she left today and said let's hope that voters are start calling their representatives and say,
4:35 pm
johnson should be gone. she needs the support that she doesn't have right now. right? that's why we have not seen that resolution refer to those voters ron, how do you think this plays out in the campaign trail? i mean, traditionally foreign policy isn't really a deal breaker or has a major impact on presidential politics. but you've got a lot of democrats were questioning support for israeli got a lot republicans questioning support for ukraine, house, this can impact the race i think the fractures that i talked about before really do have electoral implications the internationalists wing of the republican party, the voters not only the elected officials, but among the voters, is now the minority and there are just under half of republican voters who say polling from the chicago council on global affairs at the us should continue to take an active role in international affairs. they also tend to be the same kind of voters who are rally to nikki haley, you know, kind of white-collar suburban economic conservatives and the message of all of this ukraine
4:36 pm
maneuvering is that they are the minority in the party and that their views are not going to be reflected in the dominant direction of the republican party. and it kind of adds another account to the question of whether they feel that they will stay in the republican party going forward and then on the other side, as you note, i wrote in last week that i if you look at all the dimensions public opinion in congressional resistance & public activism, i think biden is facing more resistance in the democratic coalition to his support for netanyahu in the gaza war than any democratic president has faced for a foreign policy decision of their own since vietnam, iraq was a foreign policy decision by a republican president that also split democrats. and i don't think becabetter if you look at the campus controversies that we're seeing literally from coast to coast to colombia to usc biden has a problem in his coalition here, a clear majority of democrats, democratic voters now oppose sending more offensive weapons to israel. he's been very reluctant to match its tough
4:37 pm
words with tough consequences. and that pressure is only going to grow now a fascinating de, and lots more to come. ron brownstein, you might close really appreciate it i'll be right back every piece of evidence tells a story how it really happened with jesse l. martin, sunday, april 28 at nine on cnn you found it the feeling of bindings darius's can't filter out the real you. so go ahead, live unfiltered with the one and only so tick to a once-daily pill for moderate to severe plaque psoriasis and the chance that clear or almost clear skin, it's like the feeling of finding yourself ready for your close-up are finding you don't have to hide your skin just your background. once-daily. so tick two was proven better, getting more people clearer skin than the leading until don't take if you're allergic to so take too serious reactions can occur. so ticked, you can lower your ability to

4:51 pm
>> here to talk more about this as cnn sports analyst and columnist for usa today, christine brennan and christine, this is stunning when you see these numbers side-by-side. and when you think about women athletes here in the, the soccer players, for example, had made so much progress, but it's clear that female basketball players and the wnba, the league, still need to make a lot more progress. so what do you think that this says this $76,000 salary for the first year of this in player, the likes of which we may have never seen before. what does that say about women's sports what it says alex is that people haven't cared about the debbie and be at all. >> they have watched games, they haven't bought tickets in any kind of significant numbers they've ignored the wnba, a great product now, for a generation and so those people who are shocked about this have they ever watched the game? have they ever bought a product that they've watched the advertise during a game, body jersey for their daughter or their granddaughter on and on it goes. so really what we're
4:52 pm
talking about here is capitalism. i'm not discounting, of course the incredible disparity but what it shows is that if people don't pay attention and that's when the story line for women's sports for generations. then this is what we're going to see. the great news here is now the spotlight is shining on it and it's going to change a contract, the contract that tv contract is up. and there'll be new negotiations and caitlin clark will of course show the incredible difference and the interests. and it will be a much, much bigger contract. & better salaries moving forward in the next few years because of caitlin clark and when you look at the money that she's gonna be making outside of basketball, that is quite substantial. she signed deals with gatorade with a state farm. she could soon have a massive deal with nike and her own signature shoe, i believe but that obviously doesn't change the fact that she's only making $76,000 in her first year. >> so you do expect things to change and how quickly do you
4:53 pm
think that could change for these basketball players? >> i mean, there were such an incredible crop of women going to the wnba this year, how quickly do you think those numbers? verse could creep or move closer towards what the men are making as soon as the contract is signed, a new contract another year or two, and the national outcry helps again, caitlin clark taking us to amazing national conversations on so many issues. >> and so alex yeah, it's going to change. will it be close to the man? no. but will they get maybe closer to $1 a year? that's certainly a possibility. there's also a couple other things. one is the there's a quarter of $1 million $250,000 contract available for marketing the wnba guaranteed caitlin clark is going to get that $250,000 and that's part of the package to obviously sweeten you've contract a bit. a lot of the players go overseas. caitlin clark won't have to do that, of course. but that's why brittney griner was in russia, wasn't because of the sunshine& a great politics.
4:54 pm
it was because she wanted to supplement her salary when she was arrested in in jail for all those many months. so this has been happening for a long time. the fact that we're talking about this week and there's so much attention and outrage that's terrific because it will help force change. and of course, as you said, i mean, this record-breaking numbers for caitlin clark in terms of the endorsements and the sponsorships and that nike deal is expected to be between 20 million, maybe even up to 28 million so again, kaitlan is fine but she is going to the rising tide, lifts all boats. she is going to help everyone else make more money. and that's fantastic. >> well, she certainly deserves all of that. christine brennan. thank you very much. >> and sanity needs to save space you have a show. >> were right and left off too cnn presents an encore presentation of hbo's real time with bill maher next on
